Visit the Socotra Dragon Blood Trees

“For years, I had dreamed of seeing these ancient trees in person. Locals call them “blood trees” for the crimson resin that seeps from their bark—once used in medicine, dyes, even magic. But beyond their legend, it’s their form that takes your breath away: a tight crown of spiky green balancing on bare, twisting trunks. And scattered across an alien-like plateau, they seem frozen in time.”
